Tune in Tuesday night as Nels tells us a little about himself and his innovative music.
Tonight we open with music from Canadian and New York based bassist Chris Tarry, plus more from the Jamie Oehlers Double Drummer Group.
Our main feature tonight will be a 25 minute live piece from John McLaughlins 4th Dimension Live In Belgrade.
